3D Coat 3.5 for LightWave Users-Painting Color

In this videos series we show 3D students how to use 3D Coat and LightWave 3D together as an easy and functional workflow and pipeline in your 3D projects. Although this video series uses Lightwave 3D as the final output for your 3D Coat work, the concepts and principles used here will work with all the most popular 3D programs like 3D Max, Maya, Softimage, Modo, Cinema 4D and many others.

In this final video on detailing the Suchomimus Dinosaur 3D Coat/LightWave Instructor Adam Gibson shows how to paint color on the creature to add the final details that will all be merged into LightWave's Layout for Rendering. Painting Colors on a 3D object is extremely fun and also an art form that can constantly be developed. Let Adam show you some beginning techniques to get you started on detailing your own 3D Models
